Neale Donald Walsch nails it again.
On this day of your life, Dear Friend,
I believe God wants you to know......that the goodness in your life
does not come to you from someone else.
When you see this, you will be free.There is no reason and no need to "play up" to another,or to try to remain in their good graces.
Remain in your own, by not betraying yourself.
Simply speak your truth, with gentleness and love.And have courage,
for what you seek
is not outside of you.
It is not a gift from another person.
It is yours –
to give, not to acquire.
Let no one, therefore, hold you hostage.
Not your partner, not your boss, not your family...
and certainly not your God.You know right now exactly why
you received this message today.
I love having such smart "friends". Blessed Be All.

Wow, I needed that. Thank you, Jack. How often have I allowed myself to be held hostage? More than I care to admit. Good words. Hugs. Heather.
Yes, it\'s surprising to me how often, for a guy who claims to be free of what other people may think of him, takes into account what other people may think of him.
Glad it came to you at this time. Hugs, Jack
Wow, this is really interesting timing. I will be sharing an experience I had this week in my next journal entry about something that happened that is very related to what he\'s saying.
That is SO cool. :-)
I can\'t wait to read it!.... but I will.
He did indeed nail it! How much simpler life would be if we all remembered this every day. Thanks, Jack
